MCQ

Two coins are tossed simultaneously. What is the probability of getting at most one head?

A
$\frac{1}{4}$
B
$\frac{1}{2}$
C
$\frac{2}{3}$
✓
$\frac{3}{4}$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

$\frac{3}{4}$

When two coins are tossed the simultanecusly the
outcomes are:
{HH, HT, TH, TT}
So, there are 4 outcomes.
Getting atmost one head means the possible outcomes are:
{HT, TH, TT}
So, there are 3 possible outcomes.
P(getting atmost one head)
$=\frac{3}{4}$
